Palin is Still the Israel of American Politics
The American Spectator ^ | January 12, 2011 | Aaron Goldstein

Posted on 01/12/2011 1:36:38 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

I watched and listened to Sarah Palin's Facebook video concerning the Tucson shootings.

Now the liberal media is up in arms over Palin's use of the term "blood libel." Or more precisely the liberal media is upset that Palin accused them of manufacturing one.

Yet this is exactly what the Krugmans, the Fondas, the Olbermanns and others have done. They took a horrific situation and cast the blame for it at her door in an effort (in Olbermann's words) to dismiss her from politics and public life. All Palin has done is call them to account and has done so in her usual candid and vivid manner.

But for those who reservations about Palin's use of the term "blood libel" then please consider the following. Shortly after the 2008 presidential election, I wrote an article which appeared at Intellectual Conservative titled, "Sarah Palin is the Israel of American Politics." By that I meant to say, "If Sarah Palin were a member state of the UN she would be condemned daily by the General Assembly for transgressions both real and imagined." Allow me to elaborate:

Those who hate Israel are prepared to believe any unkind word said about it. If Israel-haters are told that Israelis use the blood of Palestinian children to make Purim pastries they accept it as the gospel truth. Those who hate Sarah Palin are prepared to believe any unkind word said about her. When unamed sources from the McCain campaign were alleged to have said Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, the Palin haters accepted it as an article of faith. Never mind that Palin led an effort to have Alaska divest its holdings in the Darfur region of Sudan. Those who hate Palin are not interested in the truth....

You are correct sir.

The Left has attempted, in their usual fascist way, to make the Tucson Massacre their virtual Kristallnacht, with the Tea Party, Palin, Limbaugh et al. cast in the role of the Jews. Blood libel is a most appropriate term for this maneuver, and not at all out of line. And describing Sarah Palin as the Israel of American politics hits the nail square on.

Thanks for posting this! Excellent comparison.

I believe that whatever the LEFT accuses us of, they are in fact GUILTY of.

Whether it is racism, sexism, greed or now viscous rhetoric that could inflame someone to murder.

If anything that wacko leaned left and yet somehow it is the work of the RIGHT. Amazing!!

::::::::::::::::

And if you ask them WHY they hate her, they cannot answer the question. Either out of plain stupidity or fear of the truth about those they support. They do fear her...because she is a conservative, she does not have to lie, she does not have use deceit, she does not have to steal, she is not a communist/socialist, and she has a track record of accomplishment in business and politics that shames the entire Obama regime.

Go Sarah!

And now, considering the left is usually the one to jump up and defend Muslims for being unjustly blamed for the actions of an extremist...

...they’ll be jumping up to defend Palin for being blamed for the actions of an extremist?

Oh, wait, is that crickets? Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal.

I’m thinking that the slow decline of the MSM will start to slide faster and faster into oblivion.
